Nope...nothing yet :o. I did drop my CVS another email asking if there was any news :confused:. Will post an update on the original thread - as soon as I hear anything.

*Mach* Posted October 2, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I can't seem to find the thread where these cabins were being discussed. Did we ever get an answer from Carnival? Yep... they are 'corner balconies' as they call them on the ship or 'premium balconies' as they're described on all the other vessels that have them... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted October 3, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Mach - I sooooo hope you are right.......but I am still not convinced :o. The attached photo below illustrates the concern. If the 6 extended aft balconies are across the back (yellow rectangle) then what is the cabin in the red circle :confused:. The published deck plans show 6 extended aft balconies and the next cabin should be 8473 and that could be the cabin in the red circle - and it does not appear to be the corner balcony. The "corner" appears to the part of the balcony that would be for the next cabin. I attached the second photo - because it appears to be exactly the same on the other side :(.

navybaby1113 Posted October 3, 2009 #6 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I agree that it doesn't look like a normal wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corners are less well defined there. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corners are less well defined there. Tom Good point! And honestly the shape - or defination on the balcony itself is not of great concern. Many are shaped differently - based on the class of ship. But historically the 9A's (and Cat 11 on the Spirit class) wraps do have a phenomenal balcony space - which is why we book them. And....when we booked, the decks plans, pricing - and description - for our 9A (8473) was to include the "premimum" balcony. If the circled cabin is in fact 8473 - there is no "premimum" balcony :(. It appears to be a balcony space similar to the other extended aft cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to be a balcony space similar to the other extended aft cabins. I already have a TAPE MEASURE on my packing list for our 12/3 Dream cruise. Those numbers won't lie. I will be on deck 7 (corner) for that sailing PLUS there are other CC'ers on our roll call which have "aft corner" cabins on deck 6 and deck 8 (including 8473). If someone does not post the stats on all of the corners by then, I will! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure some other photos will be showing up here soon and that is likely to help solve the "mystery" - one way or the other :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
